SUPPRESSION OF TUB REBEL
PERSONAL NOTICES OF THE N.
V. NEWS.
[From the N. Y. Smaj
An order from Washington has direct
ed Gen. Dix to suppress ihe “Personal”
notices to rebel sympathizers heretofore
published in the Confederate organ of
this city. The editor of that journal does'
not like this/‘despotism”’ as he calls it,
and appeals to the public for sympathy
aujd its opinion upon so gross an “out
rage, ’ which he says has'been perpetra
ted against the liberty of the press. The
copperheads will no doubt sympathize,
but. loyal people wi.l be- ratified at the
action taken by the autnoritii s While
we have constantly condemned the arbi
trary exercise of despotic power, as.
evinced towards the press and individu
a s by an illegal or unconstitutional sup
pression of newspapers and arrests of
persons, we nevertheless recognize the
right of our Government to establish (du
ring a time of war ) a censorship" over
newspaper publications intended to give
aid and comfort to our enemies. Many
ot the “personal-*’ alluded to were un
doubtedly “conlFab.iud communications”
which no loyai publisher would admit
into his columns. While we condemn
any arbitrary proceedings that restrict
Uie discussion of public affairs or a na
tional policy, we cannot find fault with
tliie ordi r prohibiting tfie .puhlication of
mhtter which'might, aha doubtless did,
convey infonnutiem to someone. or
miu.y‘of Xhq re gels''now in armp against
our government. If the “War Depart
ment have the right or power to prevent
letters so Oon'ffderiftes from passing our
lines into the enemy 's country, the same
aqUierity may be exe: cised in prohibit
ing a notoriously disloyal journal from
publishing in i(s cdluiuhs the same kind
of letters, with the intention of convey
ing tliein in bulk, whenever an opportu
nity ior eominimicariiig with’ the rebels.
The enforcement of this prohibitory or
der, does not therefore, belong to the
category of arbitrary or despotic mea
sures, that have been employed by dif
ferent officials in the exercise of doubtful
powers; hence, we deem it a proper ex
ercise of legitimate authority, which the
people will doubtless endorse and ap
prove.
In the good old days of slow coaches
and slower mails, w'hen Northern New
York was as far opt of the world as
some of our Northwestern Territories
are now, there was gathered around the
]K)fet-office one nighfi in a small town,
quiie a crowd, to hear the news brought
by the stage just in. “ What's the
news,” asked an old fellow, who w 7 as not
asworldy-wise as he might have been —
“ivhat’a the news?” “Martin Van
Buren has been appointed Minister to
Great Britain.” said a friend at his elbow.
“.Minister to Great Britain! The idea
of his being appointed Minister to Great
Britain ! ■ Y\ by he can’t preach no mure
than I can!,’
Old Joshua Swallow, a veteran minis
ter, was the other day preaching against
the spiritual call to the ministry, and re
lated an anecdote of Caleb who
gave liis experience in this wise—“l wxis
ode day plowing and was called to preach
by a voice saying, ‘Caleb! Caleb V Who
could have called me thus?’’ A boy in
the back part of the congregation, says
Mr. Swallow,exclaimed, “Maybe it was
bull-frog, Mr. Jones.”
“M.ss,’ said a loiTto a young lady,
“what a pity it is that you wasn’t a mir
ror.” “Why so ?” said the blushing
lady. “Because you would be such a
good -lookiug-lass.”
